I had to attend this event and meet the artist behind the blog. Erin is everything I expected, personable, radiant, and good natured.

You can accumulate points in many ways, see for yourself… She also offers promotions galore, frequent her blog to see how easy it is to qualify for discounts.

Let me introduce you to Michelle of The Quilted House, member of RNEST. Her mini gift tote is absolutely adorable. Buying disposable gift bags, mass produced ribbon, or tissue paper seems senseless when you could use a wonderful handmade reusable gift bag! If I received a present in this, it would be the best part of the gift. The Quilted House offers several handmade items for sale, like wallets, satchels, and notepad holders. You can visit Michelle’s Etsy shop here.

Remember a few weeks back when I was in the city VENDING IN A FREAKING FLOOD?! An artists group, RNEST was mentioned before the downpour.

Referring to the handwritten URL scribbled on the back of a business card, I typed the letters into my browser. The Rochester New York Etsy Street Team instantly grabbed my attention. I NEED to be part of this group. They are so alive and motivated! This is what I’ve been looking for!

Taken the necessary steps to become a member, my application is currently being reviewed. In the meantime I’ll be familiarizing myself with members of the group. Erin Gursslin of Sunshyne Silverwear turns old spoons into wearable art. Let me introduce you to her current giveaway!

My giveaway is a little nontraditional. The person with the most points by the expiration of the ‘game’ gets their choice of one of the three pendants pictured above.
Earning points is easy, you don’t even need to leave your computer for most of them!

Erin’s detailed giveaway is impressive. She encourages participants to help promote her business in numerous ways. Erin offers a selection of three spoons for the prize winner to choose from. I’m a fan of “Birds on a Wire“, pictured above. I hope she has a helper to assist in keeping track of the points, it looks like a lot of work. Her giveaway starts today and ends midnight, September 13th. Check it out here.
